Recipe Description fields

• Product Number – The application can be configured to generate recipe numbers automatically or they can be entered manually. Either way, they must be unique within the system.
• Recipe Name – It is recommended that the name follow a standard convention, in order to make sorting and searching in the summary screen easier. This must be unique within the system.
• Active check box — This is checked by default; clear the check box if the recipe should not be active.
• Discount check box — Check this to indicate that the item is a Discount Recipe.

Category Settings

• Category (/Subcategory/Microcategory)– This organizes the recipe for grouping and filtering and links the recipe product to the general ledger when it is flagged as an "A/T Cost Item" on the Production or Location tab.
• HACCP Compliance – Automatically populates with 'Not Applicable.'  If necessary, select a Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point option to assign a standard for food preparation and/or storage.  See "HACCP Restrictions" for more details.
• POS Decrement – This indicates how quantities will be depleted from inventory when a recipe product is sold. If necessary, this attribute can be set for individual locations on the Location tab.  See Product Depletion & Recipe Costing for more details.
• Recipe Group – Options include 'Appetizer', 'Beverage', Dessert, 'Entrée', 'Hors d'oeuvres', 'Pasta', 'Salad', 'Soup', 'Starch', or 'Vegetable'.   If 'Beverage' or 'Entrée' is selected, the recipe will be factored (respectively) into the "Beverages/Guest" or "Entrées/Guest" performance metrics displayed on the Net-Chef Dashboard.

Conversion Units

• See "Recipe Units and Conversions" for details about defining the units of measure.

Retail Settings

• PLU # – This links the recipe to the point-of-sale system and allows ingredients to be subtracted from inventory based on sales. Must be unique within the system. If necessary, this can be set for individual locations on the Location tab. The PLU and the POS Decrement setting are important if menu mix files will be imported to deplete the inventory quantities according to what was sold. See Menu Mix Interface for more information.
• Ideal Price Per Portion – The price the consumer will be charged for a single portion when sold.
• Status – This field is obsolete; the related functionality no longer exists.
• Effective/Expiration Date – Can be entered to indicate the starting and ending dates for a "limited-time" recipe. If entered, the recipe is eligible for Daily Prep only during this date range. These dates can be used when filtering and/or sorting the recipe list in the summary screen.
• UPC code – If entered, this value will be used to validate the UPC code scanned using the Inventory mobile app.  {Note}: Supported formats include UPC-A, UPC-E, Code128, Code93, Code39, EAN13, EAN8, PDF417, QR CODE, Aztec, ITF, and DataMatrix.
